* SendingStuffToSaveTheShow: When Creator/WarnerBros shelved the completed live-action[=/=]animated film ''Film/CoyoteVsAcme'' in November 9, 2023 for a $30 million tax break after doing so with ''Batgirl'' and ''Scoob! Holiday Haunt'' in 2022, this proved to be the last straw for filmmakers working for the studio, several fans and other creatives in Hollywood, who have finally had enough and worked to teach the studio a lesson. Steven Ray Byrd, a background actor from the film, made [[https://www.change.org/p/release-the-completed-and-highly-anticipated-movie-coyote-vs-acme a petition]] pleading for the film to see the light of day, while several filmmakers protested by leaving angry phone calls at Warner Bros., cancelling meetings scheduled at the studio and even writing tweets on Website/TwitterX ranging from praising the film to panning Warner Bros.' decision to shelve it. Meanwhile, fans also made fanart campaigning for the film to be released and attacking CEO David Zaslav, and even Texas congressman Joaquin Castro got in on the criticism, deeming Warner Bros.' write-off practices "predatory" and "anti-competitive" and calling for a federal investigation into the studio. Their determination and rebellion eventually paid off, as four days later on November 13, 2023, after enduring negative feedback, Warner Bros. appeared to have waved the white flag and reversed course, unshelving the film and allowing the crew to shop it to other distributors. Then, on New Year's Eve, Creator/EricBauza took to social media to unveil the first screenshot of the film and implied its eventual release in 2024. Unfortunately, on February 8, 2024, it was revealed by a report by The Wrap that they still fully intend to write off the film anyway and have rejected all counter offers from distributors, with the "announcement" being little more than a fake PR stunt to quell the angry protests.
* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: In November 2023, it was announced that the [[RogerRabbitEffect live-action hybrid film]] ''Coyote vs. ACME'', which had filmed the year prior and was ready to release, would permanently shelved for a tax writeoff of $30 million, a similar fate to that which befell several other fellow Warner Bros. films under David Zaslav's administration of Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery. However, in a happy turn of events, the film was brought back after Warner Bros. received nothing but severe backlash for their decision from fans, filmmakers in the entertainment industry[[note]](several of whom cancelled meetings with the studio to express their spite for the decision, with one in particular, Brian Duffield of ''Film/NoOneWillSaveYou'' fame, outright stating he will not work with Warner Bros. any time soon)[[/note]] and even Texas congressman Joaquin Castro[[note]](who called Warner Bros.' tactics "predatory" and "anti-competitive" and called for a federal investigation)[[/note]], and is now being offered to other distributors such as Creator/PrimeVideo, Creator/{{Netflix}} and Creator/{{Paramount}}, all the way up to Creator/EricBauza unveiling the first official screenshot of the film on his Website/TwitterX account on New Year's Eve and implying a 2024 release of the film.

However, in a happy turn of events, the film was brought back after Warner Bros. received nothing but severe backlash for their decision, both from fans and filmmakers in the entertainment industry, and is now being offered to other distributors such as Creator/PrimeVideo, Creator/Netflix and Creator/Paramount, all the way up to Creator/EricBauza unveiling the first official screenshot of the film on his Website/TwitterX account on New Year's Eve and implying a 2024 release of the film.

* CreatorsApathy: Jack L. Warner, one of the original Warner Brothers and head of the studio during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, openly didn't care about his company's cartoons or its animation department, seeing their popular shorts as just an extraneous service to sell to theaters who wanted a full program. In a lack of foresight, Warner sold all of his company's pre-1948 color shorts for $3000 a piece. Biographer Bob Thomas would later remark that the sold shorts "have since earned millions, but not for Warner Bros." Those shorts did eventually return to Warner Bros., though, as they, through a series of transactions over the decades, came to be owned by Creator/TedTurner, who merged his company with Time Warner in 1996.

Boris Karloff


** According to one of the Looney Tunes comic artists, celebrity caricatures are OK with them unless noted otherwise, even for ones long forgotten such as Edna Mae Oliver, but there is one egregious exception--anything caricaturing actor Creator/PeterLorre, who was a fairly common sight in the older Looney Tunes. When the artist attempted to have him appear in the MadScientist role he played in ''Hair Raising Hare'' for a story, it was shot down due to legal issues with Lorre's estate, who have said they will no longer authorize using caricatures of him in that context. So the scientist from ''Water, Water Every Hare'' was added to substitute for him. Despite this, he reappeared in ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' and ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction''.

Adding the name of the Warner Bros. employee who helped Mugihito in the Japanese dub


* EnforcedMethodActing: This happened in the Japanese-dubbed version, when it was dubbed for first time: According to an American Creator/WarnerBros employee sent to Japan to supervise the dub, Creator/{{Mugihito}} (Taz's Japanese [=VA=] and its current one) had too many problems at first with dubbing Taz right, since Taz barely spoke any reasonable lines and adapting his HulkSpeak to Japanese was becoming a pain for him and he was starting to get frustrated. Since Mugihito didn't speak English nor the American supervisor spoke Japanese to help him, the American employee decided to enter into Mugihito's recording booth and started to imitate ''Taz'' as best he could, so the Japanese voice actor could be able to understand how to dub Taz right. After laughing really hard after that stunt, Mugihito got the message quickly and managed to solve the issue right away.

* CreativeDifferences: Bob Bergen had an awful time working on the Doyle shorts before being fired and replaced by Creator/BillyWest as the voice of Porky and Tweety.
** For one thing, the shorts originally had [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} plenty of adult humor that didn't belong in a Looney Tunes cartoon]] - he specifically mentioned a lot of jokes about sex and bodily functions. While Bob is aware that the original Looney Tunes shorts were never intended to be exclusively for children, as he pointed out they were ''classy'', not crude. Thus, he let Larry know that he wasn't comfortable with the adult humor, but it didn't do any good (ironically, the higher-ups at Warner Bros. took out all the adult humor in the shorts after Larry was fired).
** As if that wasn't enough, Larry wanted Bob to change the way he played Porky - he slowed down a bunch of old Porky shorts to how Mel sounded before they sped him up, then told Bob to "do" Mel, then they would speed him up to the same percentage, despite the fact that Bob does Porky just fine naturally and has done it that way for years. In addition, as Bob pointed out his voice is much higher than Mel's was - and the microphones used in those days were much different than the ones they were using on these shorts... and on top of that, Larry slowed down those original Porky shorts too much. When Bob attempted to do Porky the way Larry wanted and was sped-up, the result sounded like a stuttering [[Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks chipmunk]].
** Bob [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere finally decided to call up his agent and quit the project]] - a very difficult decision for him, as he had wanted to voice Porky since he was a child, but if this was the direction that they were going to take the characters in, he wanted no part in it. However, when he told his agent that he wanted off the project, his agent informed him that he had actually just been fired. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to get the role of Porky back, just not in the Larry Doyle shorts.

* DawsonCasting: Many children characters in the original cartoons were voiced by adults. A notable example is Tweety, voiced by Creator/MelBlanc with his voiced pitch-shifted to sound more childlike. In the early days, [[CrossdressingVoices many young boys were voiced by women]], as mentioned above. And Dick Beals, whom had a hormonal condition that prevented his voice from deepening during adolescence (not unlike Gary Coleman), voiced Ralph Phillips.
